What does a tailor do?

Historically, the term tailor referred to a person who made, altered and repaired clothing professionally, especially suits and men’s clothing but the definition of the term has evolved over time. The term is now used for makers of men's and women's suits, coats, trousers, and similar garments.

Why you need a good tailor?

Only a good tailor can offer quality tailoring. That’s something you need if you’re a man who wears suits on a daily basis as well as on formal occasions. From altering a suit so that it fits you better to creating a bespoke suit designed especially for you, a good tailor can come in handy at several instances.

A lot of people tend to have a misconception that tailors are only for men, but that’s not true. Women can benefit from tailors as much as men do. A tailor can help women customize their wardrobe and also alter their clothes to fit them perfectly.

How to choose the right tailor?

There is no specific criteria for this, but generally, a good tailor is the one who understands your requirements and knows what he’s doing. The right tailor will also guide you on what will suit you better according to your body shape and the event for which you need the suit.

How much do tailors in Orkney charge?

It depends on different tailoring factors like the type of suit or clothing, the cost of fabric, and whether it's needed urgently or not. Your tailor can give you the right estimate.
